This downloadable (2.7 MB Microsoft PowerPoint file) project helps young scholars apply their knowledge of fractions and decimals to the game of baseball. They compute batting averages and hitting percentages and participate in a simulated baseball game through a distance learning video conference with The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Using the knowledge they?ve gained, students research players and then create their own baseball cards. In this file, teachers will find project background and planning information, teacher and student reflections, content-rich teaching resources, and assessment and standards information.
